Description of problem: This bug is for tracking the potential transition to using the gtk+ toolkit for xemacs (instead of Xaw3d). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 21.4.14
When xemacs is built "--with gtk": 0) The gutter seems not to work - it is just a void space 1) XIM gets disabled 2) Widget buttons do not have labels displayed on them (eg customize)
http://members.optushome.com.au/purvi/xemacs/gtk/index.html contains some gtk xemacs patches.
Also this: http://folks.astrian.net/godzilla/gtk-bugs.html
(0) and (2) in comment 1 seem to be fixed in 21.4.16. :) As quite a few of the bugs in comment 2 also I believe. A more minor think I noticed now is new modelines tend to have some unwanted pixels on the lower side: they can be cleaned away with C-l.
Also seems gtk support requires dl module support which is currently disabled on ia64 (bug 123126).
This bug hasn't been updated in a long time and targets FE devel. Could you please check that it still occurs with current FE devel and update accordingly ? Thanks.
Not much has happened with the GTK port upstream, and I think a GTK 1.x port would no longer be really desirable in the first place, and there are no GTK 2.x efforts as far as I can tell. Closing as upstream, will open a new tracker in the future in case something new pops up.
